I’d like to thank Nathan and the team at Wendy’s Broadcadst for all their help. They have been supplying me with custom cables, made to the highest standard over many year. The low profile connectors are hard to find, yet they normally ship the finished leads the day after ordering, often to studios or locations where I am filming and I’ve never had to ask for any adjustments or corrections; They are right first time, despite my requiring some unusual bespoke wiring. I’ve also benefited from real world advice about products and fault finding. Wendy’s Broadcast have made location sound far less stressful.
Mini DA42 Powering Unit
The Mini-DA42 serves for powering digital microphones (especially the SuperCMIT) and for converting their output signals to analog. It allows the operation of digital microphones with devices which only offer analog inputs.
Inputs: AES42, Mode 1 (XLR-3F, 110 Ohms, black label)
Outputs (available through included Sub-D breakout cable):
Indicators: Green LED for power; red LED for "unlocked" (turns off when a digital microphone is connected and the circuitry of the Mini-DA42 locks on to that signal).
Power: DC 12 - 18 V / 200 - 500 mA, available through included AC adapter PSD DC with HIROSE plug.
Operation is also possible with other AC adapter models or batteries / rechargeable batteries.
Dynamic range of the Mini-DA42: 112 dB (A, RMS), >98dB (CCIR, q-peak)
Dynamic range of the SuperCMIT with the Mini-DA42: >107 dB (A, RMS), >96dB (CCIR, q-peak)
NOTE: It is much cheaper to buy the Microphone and accessory as a package. Click Here then select from product options
